Silicone intraocular lens encapsulation by shrinkage of the capsulorhexis opening.

We report a case of an 80-year-old woman who developed complete opacification and contraction of the continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis opening 4 months after having phacoemulsification and implantation of a silicone plate-haptic intraocular lens. We performed a neodymium:YAG laser capsulotomy without complication.
